Because fark it, why not? I don't want Hillary. Never, ever. I'd absolutely love for Warren to run for it, but to straight first term Senators is unlikely to work. Who else from the Democratic Party would go? Phil Bredesen would be great if someone could get him to run. He won the Governor's office for the second time with 68% of the vote, the most lopsided in Tennessee history. He's also a big health care guy. But he sat out 2008 completely.

Biden has a temperament that belongs in the Senate. And, he'll be 73 in 2016. On the same angle, Clinton will be 69. I'd go with someone younger. Namely, Elizabeth Warren. Younger, actual liberal, no equivocation or reflexive capitulation. And it would be a nice to go from the center-right Obama administration to hers, in terms of making actual liberalism acceptable to the media and political culture again.

/we'd need a majority of solid D's in congress, and a fix of Senate rules to get anything done though.

EnviroDude:A plagarist and an idiot. Why not. He couldnt muck it up worse than the moron currently up there.

I know. Killing Osama, helping to topple Gadhafi, facilitating the end of the war in Iraq. What a farkup. He's not even saving a pretzel for the gas jets or coming up with an idiotic tax plan that can fit on a bumper sticker. At the very least he could have tried to un-gay Bachmann's husband or punish the google for getting Santorum in a froth.

Warren is awesome, no question, but she would need a few more terms under her belt to be able to do 2016, but she's totally who I want for first female POTUS. Maybe 2020? She'd be 71 by then though...meh, I guess that'd work.

As for Warren, we'll see how she does in 2012. If she can't completely clobber a Republican opponent in a Massachusetts Senate election, I'd have to say "no" just on electability grounds. She sounds great, but political experience matters. Has she ever won an election for anything in her life?
